• the font size for the page numbers in the index

  I use 10 FM, creating an index for a book.  I can adjust the font size for the text down to 9 points, but page numbers are stuck at 12 points.  I can do 9 point individually, but they return to 12 points, when I save the book.  What should I do to get page numbers to stay in the point 9?    The same thing happens if I use the character or paragraph Designer.

  In the ... IX.fm file, what are the attributes of the tag IndexIXpara font by default ?

  No chance that they have been rejected by a character Format or a simple substitution of element prototype <$pagenum> on The IX reference Page?

• Change the Page numbers in the index

  Hello

  I have a catalog and I added two pages in the middle of the catalog. Now, due to the addition of two pages, I need to update the page numbers on the index with the new page numbers. I only need to increase each of the page by two numbers, but that starts only at a certain point. Thus, for example, on one of the index I have, 1-70 page numbers may remain the same, since the two extra pages were added AFTER page 70. But every number after 70 must increase by 2.

  I have a find and replace script. I create a table in excel and drop into the document. The script then takes any word or number that is listed in column A and replace it with what is in column B. I used initially this script to find and replace in the catalog product codes, and it worked great, because all the product codes were quite unique.

  Try to use this same script to change the page numbers, but she totally fizzled. The problem is that the same number is repeated later in the table, so the script has the table constantly replace all numbers with the first two. So, here is a small sample of my table:

  Col Col B

  423 425

  422 424

  421 423

  420 422

  But when I run the script, here is what it will turn into:

  Col Col B

  423 becomes 425 425

  422 becomes 424 424

  421 becomes 425 423 becomes 425

  420 becomes 424 422 becomes 424

  Because it alters the table, all corresponding numbers in the document then will increase to 425 or 424.

  Is there a way to ensure that the script does not change the information in the table that she uses as a reference?

  Here is the script below. I didn't write (makes a very nice person on these forums) and don't know anything about the scripts.

  the_table = app.selection [0] .tables [0];
  app.findChangeTextOptions = null;
  with (app.findChangeTextOptions)
  {
  caseSensitive = true;
  wholeWord = true;
  }
  app.findTextPreferences = null;
  app.changeTextPreferences = null;
  for (row = 0; row < the_table.rows.length; line ++)
  {
  If (the_table.rows [row] .cells [0] .silence == ")
  continue;
  app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = the_table.rows [row] .cells [0] .silence;
  app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = the_table.rows [row] .cells [1] .silence;
  app.activeDocument.changeText ();
  }

  Thank you very much!

  It should work, but make sure you do backup first. I'm not going to say once: first make a backup copy. Yes, I said that you should make a backup first!

  Copy the following script, paste it into an editor appropriate - Adobe ESTK which comes with InDesign is good enough. Save it as "omgwrongnumbers.jsx" in your user Scripts folder. Select as little text as possible, the script will be blindly increment (or decrement) all numbers in the range. And then double-click the script runs.

• Incorrect page numbers

  In PDF files paging starts after the page index, but cover drive is affected as page no. 1 so there is divergence in page numbers, when I try to go to a specific page in the PDF from Adobe files. I have ipad Air 2 Please tell me the settings to redirect pages

  Hi mugdhak92569568,

  Please note that Acrobat Reader for mobile applications, for iOS and Android screen physical (starting from 1) page numbers page not labels (i, ii, iii, iv) or logical page numbers.

  So, even if you change the labels on the page of your PDF using Acrobat Pro/Standard (paid in desktop application), the first page number displayed in Acrobat Reader mobile applications will always be 1.

  Sorry for the inconvenience.

• How can I add two pages just before page 7 of the book, which will change all the page numbers that follow?

  Hello

  I'm close to finishing a book of 257 pages.  All pages are numbered automatically down, and I spent a few weeks carefully constructed an Index at the end of the book that has all the right page numbers listed for everything.  So whatever I do, I can't change my page numbers.

  But at this late stage, I would like to add a few epigraphs (quotations) in four or five places (I just got this idea today, I'm afraid).

  Is it possible to add a few pages here and there (I will add two pages at a time, I know, or he'll hit all the pages that follow, half of them designed to be left, and half designed to be on the right - off) that are not numbered, and that will not affect the numbering of the following pages?

  Kind regards

  Malcolm

  It is not Automatic way. If you are ready to have unnumbered pages which are not included in the number of pages, you can, for each page the inserted value

  (1) select the first page after the pages will be added

  (2) in the menu pages palette, use the Options Section and number and the page number of started with the value what it is already. In this way, adding pages will not affect the numbering.

  (3) in order to avoid conflicts with the new pages page number, set their numbering on something else as 1,2,3. (as i, ii, iii, for example)

  For later use, you can configure your index with the indexing of InDesign tools, if a false problem, as you would have been able to add the pages and then re - automatically generate a correct index.

• How to change the page numbers after adding &amp; save page numbers in the pdf document - need to change the existing page printed on the upper right in the header numbers

  How to change the page numbers after you add and save the page numbers in the pdf document - need to change the existing page printed on the upper right in the header numbers.

  These page numbers were initially created using Acrobat PDF header and footer.

  I have a 750 page pdf document that I've created.

  I have to sometimes the pages up and down after that I added the page numbers in the document by using the Header_Footer tool on the right column of tools.

  But after you save the document, if I get a few pages around, I can't go back and change the page numbers.

  I thought that the page numbers, as indicated in the header and footer must have changed automatically, but I guess that once its print, that it cannot be edited - is that, as what is?

  So I guess we should always first get a copy without numbers of pages before confirming the documents and the creation of an index.

  A way to remove these page numbers already there and add new page numbers.

  Its a lot of work to align 750 court documents and then realize that you must move some and then realize the page numbers cannot be changed and thus begin to do this all over again to compile which can take about 10 hours.

  My question is quite simple, but I hope that overall, I got my point. Sorry if I made it is too complex.

  If no simple way, want to know if anyone has another different tool or a few recommendations to better highlight what I'm doing wrong.

  Thank you for your review and response.

  You should be able to update with tools - Pages - header & foot-

  Update... It not work for you?

  If this isn't the case, then try to remove from this menu and then re - adding them.

• Minimizing the differences between the print document page numbers and page numbers fixed ePub format

  Hi all!

  I'm currently involved in a project of ePub format fixed relatively simple. I almost completely finished with the file, but I see for export, only the page numbers in the table of contents for navigation begin numbering at a point different than the print document.

  I certainly don't expect the software ideally know exactly where I want the numbering to start, but I was wondering: is there a way to change the starting point of the navigation table of contents so that I can select the starting point? Here's a screenshot of the situation I describe, taken on my iPad mini using iBooks. A fix for InDesign would be useful, I am very willing to modify the code. Please let me know what additional information can help.

  Thank you very much

  Jacob

  

  I don't have a good answer for you on that I've been unable to get this works as is suspected.

  The next update will include support for a list of the fixed layout pages and to my surprise that it was unsuccessful in the evolution of the Navigation table of contents page (right) numeric values that you see.

  Those who seem to come from literally the index of the XHTML file where is the target of the table of contents. If iBooks is unable to find the target it displays the entry under '... ».

  Where the list of pages seems to make a difference on the iOS7/iBooks, is when you're scouring the pages in display mode page it will display the value of the entry in the list of pages... which is now generated from the string of InDesign page number in a gray oval.

  Maybe this has changed to iOS8/iBooks or perhaps other readers it manage differently - I never had the chance to try it on other players.

• Enigma page numbering

  I am currently working on a hymnal where I have will import about 800 in PDF format, with each document imported as a page or two partitions. I put it in place in the ID like a book, with a few dozen files using chapters.

  Page numbers are where things get difficult. On average, each song is a page, but there are several cases where the songs are two pages. With respect to the numbering of the pages, I would be automatic, so that the numbers will change as you add or remove songs, and if the index is updated automatically as well. However, I can't think a way for page numbers move from a page at regular intervals to accommodate the songs on two pages. Basically, every song will have its own number, so it is not strictly page numbering in a traditional sense of the term.

  Any ideas?

  You try numbering style

  

• How to adapt the script to a Jongware for page numbers?

  I have an index where

  Anne, 3, 5

  Mary, 11, 23-24

  and converted with the script (for example by adding + 4) does not affect the numbers of hyphen:

  Anne, 7, 9

  Mary, 15, 27 -24

  required: Marie, 15, 27-28
  

  
  

  I assumed that the second hyphen with grep of marking + character style could mark a step, but the script asks to select ALL the text.

  May be an idea to change the script runs in a second time with these numbers given the style of character or color?

• FrameMaker 8: Possible to combine the index the same page entries?

  Is it possible in FrameMaker to have several identical index on one page entries 'sink' into a single entry?

  For example, if I a document which includes index for "Adams, John" entries on pages 13 and 14, the index shows "Adams, John, 13, 14". " If I can do some changes that cause the second entry to appear on the same page as the first entry (for example, by not including not not certain conditional text), the index shows "Adams, John, 13, 13.

  Other than the removal of the second index mark, is possible to have the index generate like "Adams, John, 13"?

  Thank you!

  The index entries were added within the FM, or were they imported and text from another application (such as Word)?

  If you want really legal to this topic, I would save the file as MIF, then we the freebie MIFBrowse

  http://www.grahamwideman.com/GW/tech/FrameMaker/mifbrowse.htm

  to look at each entry (if you have not yet seen MIF, it can be a little 'dense' to digest, but the best thing is to first search for a rather unique word which could be just before entries and then move down through the screen until you find the index entries).

  Or, if time is critical, I had it just delete the entries, save, then re-create them, being extremely careful, that it is not all the differences in their and update.

  Another possibility may be less if the reference of the index page has been inadvertently damaged - you could try to add a new index to the book and see if it generates correctly.

  Edit: on the other issues, please post the separate Forum ("topics") for each of them, otherwise it's hard for everyone offer advice if several problems are addressed in a single thread.  And, it is always helpful if you specify exactly which version of FM you use (help > on, "pxxx" numbers) and your platform + service pack level, too, it helps to avoid a lot of confusion.

• The page numbers in the book: all the chapters starting at 1.

  Since I upgraded to CS4, I can't my book do the automatic page numbering. Each document begins with 1 even though I chose "Continue the previous document" in the Panel book and "automatic numbering" in the panels of the document page. I put a few number of page in start page "numbering at..." or it won't let me on the Panel (saying "Invalid entry"), even if the automatic page numbering is selected. Also, it does not accept 'x '. I have 'absolute to paging"checked in the preferences. Help! Please, I beg you!

  .. Also, it does not accept 'x '.

  Should she have?

  I have 'absolute to paging"checked in the preferences. Help! Please, I beg you!

  He he he. You gave him right at the end! "Absolute page numbering" vs "Section numbering" is just for use in InDesign itself - when you go to a certain page or print a range of pages. We call her 'View' for nothing. If you insert a page number, you will see that ID actually correct poster - whichever you choose, not the absolute number of page of the document.

  It is harmless (given that your document will print, index and reference just perfect) but if you mind... 'Show page number' value by default, "Section numbering".

• Where are my Pages, numbers, and the apps to iMovie?

• I am trying to print PDFS from Safari, but can not see the page numbers

  I just opened a document PDF 700 + pages in Safari and need to print the odd pages and there, but I can't see the page numbers displayed when I scroll the document. When I view the same document on an iPad, the page numbers change when I scroll but on my iMac (with the help of Safari 10) they appear not at all - and 700 + pages is a lot to go wrong! The clues how I can spend on 'display the page number?

  The default Apple PDF Internet plug-in used by Safari does not display the page numbers (except if they are in the footer of the PDF document in question), and there is no setting in Safari preferences to turn on this feature. Your best bet is to download the PDF file, then open it in preview or Acrobat Reader, where the thumbnails will be the correlation to page numbers. Then you can select several arbitrary thumbnails using the control button to print those selected pages. In the Pages section of the print Panel, you select "Selected Pages in the sidebar".

  The PDF Internet plug-in installed by Adobe Acrobat Reader or Pro displays the page current and total page in its turnaround Panel. If there are page numbers in the footer of the PDF file accessed, they are not deleted. You must enable Internet Adobe plug-in to Safari preferences: Security Panel.

  There are three versions of Pages that can be installed on OS X El Capitan, and all three are different. Let's start by telling me what specific version (menu Pages: pages) of Pages that you are using, and then we can limit the indications to a solution.

  When you have an object with x near the border, it is an indication that the object is locked, and to modify it, you must select and then unlock this object.

• How can I find the original printed page numbers in iBooks?

  I often need a paper as I don't know the original page number.   When we teach or a group, often refer to page numbers, and people with iBooks will be lost.

  iBooks would better adoption if iBooks would allow just anyone to perform a search on a page number and the original paragraph/sentence, or allow someone to select text and display the original page and the paragraph/sentence.
